Python Sets

SETS
• A set is a collection which
is unordered, unchangeable*,
and unindexed.
• Sets are written with curly brackets.
Create a Set:
thisset ={"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
print(thisset)
Set Items

• Set items are unordered,


unchangeable, and do not allow
duplicate
Unordered
• Unordered means that the items in
a set do not have a defined order.
• Set items can appear in a different
order every time you use them, and
cannot be referred to by index or
key values.
Unchangeable
• Set items are unchangeable, meaning
that we cannot change the items after
the set has been created.
• Once a set is created, you cannot
change its items, but you can remove
items and add new items.
Duplicates Not Allowed

• Sets cannot have two items with the


same value.
• Duplicate values will be ignored:
• thisset =
{"apple", "banana", "cherry", "apple"}
print(thisset)
Get the Length of a Set
• To determine how many items a set has,
use the len() function.
• Example
• Get the number of items in a set:
• thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
• print(len(thisset))
Set Items - Data Types
• Set items can be of any data type:
• Example
• String, int and boolean data types:
• set1 =
{"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
set2 = {1, 5, 7, 9, 3}
set3 = {True, False, False}
• A set can contain different data types:
• Example
• A set with strings, integers and
boolean values:
• set1 =
{"abc", 34, True, 40, "male"}
type()

• What is the data type of a set?


• myset =
{"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
print(type(myset))
Add Items

• Once a set is created, you cannot change


its items, but you can add new items.

• To add one item to a set use the add()


method.
• Example
• Add an item to a set, using the add()
method:
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
thisset.add("orange")
print(thisset)
Add Sets

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}


tropical = {"pineapple", "mango", "papaya"}
thisset.update(tropical)
print(thisset)
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
mylist = ["kiwi", "orange"]
thisset.update(mylist)
print(thisset)
Remove Item
To remove an item in a set, use the
remove(), or the discard() method.
Example
Remove "banana" by using the remove()
method:
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
thisset.remove("banana")
print(thisset)
The clear() method empties the set:

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}


thisset.clear()
print(thisset)
The del keyword will delete the set
completely:

thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}


del thisset
print(thisset)
set copy()
set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4}
# function to copy the set
set2 = set1.copy()
# prints the copied set
print(set2)
Python Set difference()

A = {10, 20, 30, 40, 80}


B = {100, 30, 80, 40, 60}
print (A.difference(B))
print (B.difference(A))
Python Set | difference_update()

• If A and B are two sets. The set difference()


method will get the (A – B) and will return a
new set. The set difference_update() method
modifies the existing set. If (A – B) is
performed, then A gets modified into (A – B),
and if (B – A) is performed, then B gets
modified into (B – A).
A = {10, 20, 30, 40, 80}
B = {100, 30, 80, 40, 60}

# Modifies A and returns None


A.difference_update(B)
# Prints the modified set
print (A)
Intersection()
s1 = {1, 2, 3}
s2 = {2, 3}
print(s1.intersection(s2))
Union()
set1 = {2, 4, 5, 6}
set2 = {4, 6, 7, 8}
set3 = {7, 8, 9, 10}
# union of two sets
print("set1 U set2 : ", set1.union(set2))
# union of three sets
print("set1 U set2 U set3 :",
set1.union(set2, set3))
